Tuff Stuff, or any upholstery foam cleaner and a damp(white!) terry cloth rag.
The reason I say white is I bought blue ones from some store, and the cleaner caused the rag to bleed onto the carpet(YIKES) Spray the cleaner, wait a second or two, then rub with the damp rag. Should be gone that quick.
Good luck,,,,,98

cleaning...

A good friend of mine's wife cleans houses for a living. She uses laundry soap (liquid) to clean everything, floors, sinks, etc. I thought I'd try it out. Mixed some with water and cleaned my truck carpet with a bristled scrub brush, soaking it well, then blotting up the excess moisture with dry towels. Did a superb job, looks like new now. Lots of those stains were from spilled Pepsi too. Might want to give it a try instead of buying those expensive carpet cleaners...

Glad I could help :D

I forgot to mention that I add some ERA to some water, I don't pour that liquid laundry soap right on the carpet or stain.

I'm glad it came out for you!

Thumbs up

Whenever I do a major interior cleaning, I wait for it to dry and put several treatments of Scotch Guard on the seats and arm rest. It might be worth looking into if you frequent that fast food place So far my seats have stayed pretty clean with it, everything cleans up easy.,,,,,98

I never forget to do mine, the armrest is always in the down position My arm gets tired while searching for radio stations, plus it's hard to stay in this flat seat on a curvy road, lol,,,,,98

I would think that if Tide can get blood, grass and lipstick off of your trousers if could remove a Coke stain from your truck.

Just dont forget the Downy when your done
